Brainstorming

• Kiril -> biofuels -> photosynthesising bacteria + fuel creating ones (biofilm)

Problems: - too many steps to device? -can have those bacteria in labs?

Possible imporvements: + add quorum sensing feedback loop

• Nick -> TV screen

Make improvements on previous projects: turn b/w into RGB

• Harriet -> rhyzobium bacteria

• Ben -> logic gate

There are gates made already. The challange would be to put them together.

Inputs/outputs: sugars or proteins

• Madeline -> amplifying outputs, increase speed of expression

(maybe achieve that by loaclizing the output into specific part of cell)

• Kiril -> health status of cells is fed back to human by some kinda stimuli.

• Ben -> oscillator (done before) - interface it with something to make a useful system

eg.: use it for trigerring cell cycles

• Biological wire

Ideas we're taking further

• Water sanitation and cell population control

• Cell state indicators and logic gates

• Cell population control

• Rapid response Module
• Fusion Ab Receptor
• Detection of contaminants and pathogens
